...Harvard's graduate schools. The Kennedy School's record of affirmative action is particularly abysmal-it has yet to hire one tenured woman or Black, and has had but one female associate professor in its history. Department of Labor scrutiny of the school seems to have diminished in the wake of the Republican takeover, but the University itself should pressure the K-School to step up its searches. With millions of dollars pouring in for the school's new building, it is particularly shameful that the school must plead insufficient funds in spurning a student request for a minority recruiter...
...Channel 5's anchor team and newlyweds who recently had their first child (many dollars are pledged in the name of 14-week-old Lindsay Dawn). Jess Cain, who's been spinning records early in the morning since about forever. John Willis, the lethargic host of Channel 5's wake-up-slowly Morning Magazine.

...sees ironing boards and beached seaplanes and dolphin tails and animals that guard the doors of ancient Egyptian tombs. But to the Cavalier's crew, there is nothing fanciful about these floating hulks. The ice is fragile from the summer, and if the tug sails too close, its wake can make the bergs crack or explode. Depending on the density of the floes, Kardonsky will take anywhere from a day to three weeks to sail between Wainwright and Prudhoe...
...Bogart, executive vice president of the Newspaper Advertising Bureau, thinks that most major markets can support two competing newspapers if merchants wake up to their self-interest. Instead, most advertising decisions are made not locally but on Madison Avenue or at national headquarters of local department stores and supermarkets. There, decisions are reached, says Bogart, "with single-minded impersonal efficiency. The second paper gets dropped if the advertiser is satisfied that the dominant paper gives him 60% of the target audience." Does the disappearance of the second paper matter to anyone, except in an anguishing way to its owners...
